institucionalización
Esto explica el crecimiento 1996-2006 de la * institucionalización * de personas mayores, que es de 27.6% para las mujeres y de 16.6% para los varones. (Cabella et al, 2015). Este fenómeno está vinculado con un grupo creciente de mujeres muy mayores, más longevas que sus compañeros varones que requieren cuidados fruto de sus edades y las dificultades de sus familias para dedicar tiempo a este cuidado.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I think a couple of references are in order. "Institutionalization" is a word that is often applied, with negative connotations, specifically to long-term residence in a psychiatric institution, but it is isn't always a sinister term, and is also used for putting the elderly in an "old people's home", as they used to be called.

"Institutionalizing the Elderly – Reasons, Advantages and Disadvantages
[...]
Sometimes institutionalization is necessary as is the case with certain physical and mental health ailments in the elderly. At other times it is a choice made by both parties for various social, economic and lifestyle factors."
